Photographer Martin Schoeller became famous with his long-standing and still ongoing series “Close Up”, a series of close-ups of many hundreds of celebrities, but also of completely unknown people. He has portrayed them all in the same way, with the same equipment and identical light, similar angles and distances. With this way of photographing, he portrays all people equally.
In addition to the series “Close Up”, “Female Bodybuilders” and “Drag Queens”, new works from a series about acquitted death row inmates are on display in the exhibition. It will be presented in several episodes in a digital guided tour.
